Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has urged Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike to refrain from inciting unrest in Oyo.
This plea follows Wike’s threats against PDP governors who support Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara in the party’s affairs.
At a recent PDP gathering in Port Harcourt, Wike warned that he would “put fire” in states of any governor challenging him. In response, Makinde attended a celebration for Wike, acknowledging his contributions during his tenure and advocating for peace.
He expressed concern over Wike’s incendiary remarks and emphasized the importance of maintaining harmony among party members.
The Oyo State Governor said: “I came to Oyo to identify with my brother and the celebrant of today(Nyesome Wike). When I showed up in Rivers yesterday (Friday) I told him that I brought a peace offering because he had been boasting that he would put fire in some states. I told him to please, not set fire in Oyo State.

“Let me say on behalf of other governor colleagues and past governors here that you have done well for your people and since I came I have seen projects that were done during your eight years tenure as governor.”
